By benkuzma St. PAUL, Minn. — Here we go again. The injury-ravaged Vancouver Canucks have interest in the often-injured Peter Forsberg. And with an uncertain timetable for Pavol Demitra to return from shoulder surgery, the interest isn't such a stretch. "Why not?," said general manager Mike Gillis. "We...

By Jason Brough Mike Gillis also laid out a goal and never wavered. He wanted to sign Mats Sundin. Problem was, so did everyone else. That included New York Rangers general manager Glen Sather, who may or may not have been high as a kite considering what he paid Wade Redden. But that's another stoner flick.

By Jason Brough It seems that one member of the KB was so convincing in his argument for the Canucks to call up Michael Grabner from Manitoba that Vancouver general manager Mike Gillis actually listened. The other member of the KB, who argued against such a move, will now feel shame. But Grabner was the topic...

"Mike Gillis never told me I had to fight," O'Brien said after the team's game-day skate at General Motors Place. "He was just talking to me about playing phys...

Half way through the season I have to say I’m guilty of having thought they’d be in a worse position. But that’s not because I thought Mike Gillis would do a bad job, it’s more so that I thought they’d try to do what they do every year which is fall in a hole early, and then play the role of comeback k...

By rss@youtube.com (nmac123) Mats Sundin will continue his NHL career with the Vancouver Canucks.

By rollins931 No one is going to confuse the Canucks with the 1976-77 Canadians, but no one should confuse them with the 1974-75 Capitals either. As long as this team can stay healthy, coach Alain Vigneault can light a fire under his offense and Mike Gillis stays active in the market for another top six guy...

By Jes Gőlbez(noreply@blogger.com) Mike Gillis' reign of error as GM of the Canucks thus far has not been much different than the man he chopped to pieces in the media. (Nonis, FYI) The Canucks could have had Cammalleri, but ended up being rebuffed. Hungry Hungry Hippos + New York Islanders = Loads of fun.

By noreply@blogger.com (Sean Zandberg) There are stories out that Morrison and his agent could meet with the Canucks at the end of the week. There are still 18 days left until Mo would become an unrestricted free agent. So what should Mike Gillis do? What would you do? Let him go? Sign him up?

By Zanstorm 4. Settle on the status of captain Markus Naslund, a former Gillis client, who becomes an unrestricted free agent July 1. "If we can't provide an environment that makes perfect sense for Markus to be here, then he won't be here," Gillis said. T Tags: Mike+Gillis priorities Canucks+GM
